It just never gave me the results I got from the d7k and I lost my mojo with it ...... Swapped it for the d600 and instantly felt at home and funnily within a month the guy who swapped for the d71k got rid cos he couldn't get on with it either! But he went to the d7k2 and swears by it! Loves it!

I thought you would do with your post count? Anyway I upgraded to a d7200 because the higher megapixel sensor means I can crop more on birds. Also the newer model has 60p video recording which I wanted, the d7000 only 30p (makes no difference at all if you don't use video obviously!)

Apart from that I love the d7000 and I don't know if I'd have upgraded were it not mainly for the ability to crop into birds.
